Meet SOPHIE

SOPHIE is a healthy female adult calico cat whose owner is moving. She needs a new home. She had a visit to the vet on July 9 and is up to date on all shots. She is partial to dry food. Sophie is super affectionate with awesome orange, brown, and white colors. She has always lived with other pets but would probably love being an 'only pet'. If you are interested in adopting Sophie, contact Sarah at (978) 587-3229, Moore-Sarah@comcast.net.

Ready to Adopt Now: PANTHER

PANTHER was found on December 22 in Beverly by a kind person who took him to Beverly Animal Hospital. He was not neutered, he was hungry and had fleas plus a bad tooth. He was tested for feline diseases and is negative. Panther has now been neutered, given shots, and his bad tooth was pulled. He is very sweet and friendly and loves to be petted. He can be seen at the Beverly Animal Hospital and will be adopted through FOBA. If you are interested in adopting Panther, call Heidi at (978) 927-4157 or send email to heidiroberts@comcast.net.

Here’s SANDY

SANDY is a very sweet, gentle cat. She is fluffy, medium-haired, with beautiful apple-green eyes. She is not aggressive at all and would do well with a loving family that is not too boisterous. She likes to be petted and to play with her toys but is not a lap-cat (so far). She sleeps on the sofa next to her foster mom and comes into her bedroom around 8 a.m. to nuzzle and suggest that it may be breakfast time! If you are interested adopting Sandy, please contact Gillian at gilliancharters@comcast.net (978) 927-5306.

Here’s TYSON

"My name is TYSON. I'm a Bullmastiff mix. I was born in January 2003, so I'm 11 years old. I love to run but need a fenced in yard. I've never bitten anyone. I'm good with other dogs, I love people. I'm a pretty good listener, I think I'm a lapdog, but as you can tell by my size not really. I love to go out for walks, but my owner has colon cancer and it is hard for her to take me. She can't really take care of me anymore. I'm looking for a good, happy home. So if you could find me one, it would make us both very happy. Thank you." If you are interested in adopting Tyson, contact Karen Mealey at (978) 777-4458.

Thanks to Petco Foundation

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Petco Foundation for their recent generous donation to FOBA as part of their recent in-store "Together We Can" fundraiser. We are honored to be partners with this wonderful foundation, which has contributed to FOBA many times over the last few years. Thank you, Petco!

Thank You Casa de Moda

We'd like to express our sincere appreciation to Jan and Don Preston, who recently retired and closed their store, Casa de Moda, for all their help to our organization. They sold a lot of calendars and supported FOBA in numerous other ways over the years. We miss their unique store and their warm presence in downtown Beverly!

Thanks to Mahsati Dancer

We would like to thank Mahsati Dancer, the Led Zeppelin tribute band, Moby Dick, and all who attended the great show on May 10, 2014 with proceeds going to the Friends of Beverly Animals and Sweet Paws Rescue. It was a thoroughly entertaining evening, and we are honored that you chose FOBA as a cause, helping us rescue more precious animals. Thank you so much!

Thanks to Henry’s Wine Cellar

We would like to thank Henry's Wine Cellar and Henry's Market for sponsoring our May 2014 wine tasting event. We had a nice turnout and everyone enjoyed the fine wines and delicious hors d'ouervres, plus some very lively conversation. We know that Henry's is always helping good causes, and we're honored that the Friends of Beverly Animals is among them. Thank you!

Mass License Plate

Lights, Camera…Action!

"FOBA" the show, courtesy of our wonderful local access cable station, Beverly's very own BevCam, Channel 8, will be airing new episodes this year. Please check for current air-dates below.
